Var. (?) Fletcher's Fl. Ott. 



This form, found in the Ottawa Eiver, near Ottawa city, Mr. Fletcher, 

 after a careful examination of his specimens, and particularly the fruit, 

 came to the conclusion was " merely a hybrid between iV! advena and 

 N. Kalviiana." To decide the question he sent both living and dried 

 specimens to Professor E. Casparry, Director of the Botanic Gardens, 

 Konigsberg, the highest authority on Nuphar, whose answer was as 

 follows : " I have not the slightest doubt but that your Nuphar "is N. 

 advena+ Kalmiana. It is intermediate between the two, and what is 

 decisive is this — its pollen is very bad ; no less than 95 per cent, of the 

 grains in the specimens seat had no fovilla. N. advena and Kalmiana
